GD Details:GD Topic: 1) Bankers should use force or be friendly while recovering loans.2) In order to solve the population crisis, male population should be sent to foreign countries.

No. of People Present: 12Brief Snapshot of Discussion:DTE has definitely run out of topics. What an absurd topic for GD.About 4 people voted for the first, rest for the second one.Points that were put forth:-Skewed Gender ratio in India-Requirement of labor in developed countries.-Remittances.-Immediate solution to population problem as compared to other population control methods.-Someone said, something about Australia, that's where I jumped in because Australia is the perfect example of male population being relocated (in their case forcefully) and then prospering.

Most people spoke against the topic. Few kept jumping either side of the fence. Here's the worst part, Compared to previously posted GD experiences I seemed to have an unusually over-enthusiastic group. Almost everyone was present, and everyone wanted to speak. People spoke simultaneously throughout the GD, but occasionally everyone listened to what was being said.

Panel Members:2 men.1 Professional Looking guy, had worn a tie. Probably South Indian. Looked a little impatient, wanted to get over with the interview. Let's call him Prof.1 guy around 50 years who looked just like Amol Gupte, sans the beard. He had long hair, I cut my hair about 2 days back, if I knew this guy was taking my interview, I wouldn't have cut my hair. Let's call him Psychic (You will know why, very shortly)

Questions:The girl who went before me took over 40 min, so I was pretty anxious, wanted to get it done with. I enter the room. Both of them are discussing something, don't take notice of me for about 20 seconds, then one of them asks me to sit. Psychic takes my PI forms. The following transcript is reproduced to the best of my knowledge, any discrepancies are regretted.

Well I know, it's $ 1.38 Trillion. But what do I end up saying) 8.5% Psychic: That's not India's GDP (*Get's up and leaves the room)Prof: Have you heard about the 2G scam.

(*at this point I know, I don't know the answer, just hope he changes the question)Prof: What's the difference between Oracle something, and ERP something (I think it sounded like See-Saw).Me: I don't know, that's beyond my domain of knowledge (*Yea, I don't know why, but I said that)Prof: OK, that's it.(*what! that's it, i couldn't answer anything convincingly, please ask me the capital of libya, please ask me the capital of libya)(*at this point Psychic enters, I shake his hand as I leave, and tell him if I knew you're going to be my panelist, I wouldn't have cut my hair, he smiles, I smile, Prof. just looks on)

Any other relevant details: There's no ARC verification being done at JBIMS, you need to go to Sydenham.

I feel that most people do not actually understand the difference between GD and debate. After reading sub-par articles on how to behave in a GD, they think that whoever speaks first and the most gets selected.Actually anybody who has some relevant points to contribute and does so in a clear and concise way is well ahead of the pack.By the way excellent point about the Australians,must have earned you a bonus point.
